KUALA LUMPUR: Drugs worth RM10mil were seized after the police raided a home that had been used as a homestay.
City police chief Comm Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim told a press conference at city police headquarters here on Monday (Oct 17) that two suspected drug dealers were arrested following raids on Oct 13.
The suspects, aged 37 and 38, were caught in Desa Sri Hartamas and Bandar Damai Perdana respectively.
“Following those raids, we conducted a third raid on a home, also located in Bandar Damai Perdana. Around 206 packages of syabu and 112,000 Erimin 5 pills were found,” he said.
In total, the drugs were valued at RM10mil. Two cars and RM70,000 in cash were also seized during the operation.
The group was believed to have links to a previous drug bust by Kuala Lumpur police and Comm Azmi said more suspects may be arrested following this new development.
“The homestay was believed to be used as a store and the group would move every one or two weeks to throw off the police.
"It is believed it had been active for around two months and the market was intended to be within the Klang Valley,” he said.
